                Farewells

Through the Autumn morning mist
spectral hills seem to dance
   the wind,
with the trees that sweep
a grey and cloud-thatched sky.
Here, falling leaves and memories
are a rain of silence
near the silver stream winding
forever on its lonely path
through this vexing world
and far away like your heart.
I know not where nor why.

Forlorn and very sad poetry, Bruce, but written superbly. That isn't surprising. There's nothing quite like a broken heart to reach out and touch you.

Very sad, Bruce and yet you are blessed to be able to turn sadness into such beautiful poetry.

Your words write of a place that fits perfectly with a place I visited a week ago.  We are beyond fall and into the early dawning of winter here - and you described what I saw that day.

Good job, Bruce.  Sad, chilly and well written.
